STATEMENT
For more than four decades my studio work has explored various forms of mock-documentation, or fictive art.

My subjects have included archaeology, folk art, medicine, zoology and most recently, an imaginary early 20th century circus. My work involves both the fabrication of artifacts and their documentation. Prints are central to much of my work, as printed culture is woven into the history of science and commerce.

In my projects I place a great deal of emphasis on the interrelationship between the various elements in the exhibition and the connections between the different media, which can include ceramics, sculpture, photography, and printmaking.

I see this approach to art is potentially unlimited, and can take almost any form, style or medium to reflect almost any system of knowledge or belief as a way of commenting on history and its representations.
